The Stot makes an analysis OF the
wages of manual labor in England, and
compares the rates with those In the
United States. OF course the conclusion
is a proof that under our free institutions
the manual laborer has fairer opportu-
nifty than in m0narchicai country where
traditional law by the mere prestige OF
tradition obstructs progress. and even old
customs bar the way 10 free competition.
The more freedom man obtains the
greater is his responsibility, and when
ambition for success, for comfort IN lie
and for the future Of his children comes
to the aid Of his situation, 1t only depends
on his capacity and industry to raise him
rapidly above his station. In using that
term we do not mean social distinction,
but material success. attained by the best
use Of ones opportunities.
Still. the failacy that underlies the
pranks of such alleged political econo-
mists as George and McGlynn IS that tins
progressive laborer so fortunately located
under free institutions, is not brought to
illustrate labor when he becomes an EN-
ployer. His character and enterprise raise
him 10 the station Of an organizer ana
he borrows capital on which he pays
fair interest while his manual laborers
get the wages Of manual Work ana DC
gets the wages Of brain work. But he Is
not a capitalist in any sense Of the word
The fact that his capacity creates a
combination which he can successfully
work. merely shows in the strongest man
ner the necessity of recognizing the eie-
ment a. a working one which Is 'menta

1t is well for every American citizen TO
bear in mind always the principle that
the Government is the agent, trustee, and
servant Of a popular authority, and that
the judiciary of the country represents
the peoples recognition Of justice which
must be administered on correct princi-
pies and not according TO local theories
The aggregate ideas Of the people
are expressed by representative bod
les and interpreted by legally-con-
stituted judges If there is a soyer-
eighty that is a yelled figure created
in the Imagination with more powers
than any chart of government delegates,
and with something Of the sacred char
acter of a king then let us hear il explain
ed. At present we do not see anything
in the facts and the history except that
popular sovereignty delegates its powers
TO It's agents changes them when they do
not suit and expects them to act by the

THE SOVEREIGNTY OF COREA,

Corea has attempted to assert its SOW
eighty by appointing ministers to foreign
nations. China objects, and will doubt.
less try her heavy navy on Corea unless
Corea Yields to the traditional Chinese
protection that has prevailed. If Corea
had a debt involved in the question OF
sovereignty and had Chinese Judges we
might understand why she should asser'
local sovereignty opposed by the great
Celestial Empire. Buttheissueis one to be
decided bv war power, and judicial dec!s-
ions have naught to do with it. OF course
the sovereignty of Corea will be over
powered by the ironclads and heavy or
dnance that have long since superseded
the matchbox gun in the Chinese navy
Corea will nave a hard time during the
reconstruction period under more abso-
lutte power. but in the course of time the
Coreans-not Corea as natiOn-will
learn that the Chinese celestial judiciary
has the bulge, as they callit in China,and
that there is no Use IN fighting the war

The report from antique Rome tina

the Coliseum is absolutely enough to
take ones breath away. 1t is true that
we have on the English stage a scene in
that classic arena wherein the tragic hero
proposes to make Rome howl and he
does. But il is critically classic how
accompanied with the clash of the Ro-
man sword and the gladiator's shield.
Now we are to have the Deadwood
